Hi Rosemary,

*         How do we ensure we provide opportunities for competitive
choice for customers with big, national branch networks including low
density areas - think Woolworths, ANZ, Coles, Commonwealth bank?

I think by virtue of the fact that there will be open wholesale access
this is not going to be an issue.  Every wholesale access seeker is
going to build their network differently and with different market
focuses.  I think if anything the model being discussed today is going
to increase options provided the access costs are reasonable to the
wholesale customer.

The physical network all being the same will require network operators
to differentiate themselves through, services, innovative product
delivery and network flexibility. Additional value adds such as being
able to deliver non NBN network reliant backup links to each site would
probably in my mind be high on my agenda if I was a CIO looking for an
NBN era telco solution.

*         How do we provide "White Label" opportunities such as we see
in UK - Sainsbury/Tesco - here could be Woolworths, Elders, Office
Works.....

This is where network aggregators and VISP providers come in, these
opportunities are already being served well with the current regime by
established service providers.  Provided the NBN Co is able to give the
VISP provider cost effective access and the ability to build their
products as they choose, this is not going to be a difficult thing, in
fact in my mind it will open the market up to new players and greater
competition.

Hi folks

Our issues at ATUG - not sure of our position yet!!! And grateful for
any input.....

*	How do we ensure we provide opportunities for competitive choice
for customers with big, national branch networks including low density
areas - think Woolworths, ANZ, Coles, Commonwealth bank?

*	How do we provide "White Label" opportunities such as we see in
UK - Sainsbury/Tesco - here could be Woolworths, Elders, Office
Works.....

*	How do we provide a suitable access service for local ISPs to
service communities in low density areas?

*	How could specialist providers of content service s- eg Health,
Education, Universities, perhaps banking, media services operate in this
environment?

*	How do make sure the problems of dominance that we are just
about to fix don't re-emerge at a different level in the architecture?

Cheers

Rosemary

Quigley offers ISPs a rough sketch of NBN architecture

NBN Co has developed a rough architecture for the build-out of the
National Broadband Network in an attempt to keep ISPs and carriers in
the loop as to how their services will intersect with it.

See:
http://www.itnews.com.au/News/155871,quigley-offers-isps-a-rough-sketch-
of-nbn-architecture.aspx/0

It looks like a layer 2 GPON network with ethernet backhaul over
classical transmission gear, presenting to service providers from
centralised locations. Each premises will have an ONT with multiple
ports so there can be physical separation of services. He says this is
merely a "stake in the ground" and will consult with ISPs.

Thoughts anyone?

Its broadly what we've been putting together as the initial work in the
Comms Alliance workgroups - work in progress
https://commswiki.dgit.biz/index.php/Main_Page. I think it was a diagram
from this work that Quigley put up in the Brisbane briefing yesterday.

TR-144 (http://www.broadband-forum.org/technical/download/TR-144.pdf) is
a fairly heavily leaned upon precedent. There will be a first-run
architectural reference model released for broader comment in a few
weeks I believe.
